Yep, it is bit annoying as to not knowing what books to get but i'm sure it will all work out. Are you doing your diploma at tafe full time? Hope it's not too hard hey, bit nervous at the whole juggling family life whilst being a student but thats life. Hope you enjoy Danni, keep posting and hopefully we can help each other along the way, good luck ;)

I'm doing mine at Health Skills Australia, Melbourne CBD campus. Its not a TAFE but more like a specialized college. I'll be doing it full time 3 days a week and working 25 hours a week too so hopefully i can manage that! When do you start yours? And where are you doing yours? Its good to find somebody starting at the same time!

I'm doing mine at the local tafe in alex hills, brisbane. It's cool as it's only about a 10 min drive. I was going to try and go for RN straight away but I thought my kids, it would be a bit tricky getting out the door extra early as it would be further to travel. We have orientation on mon 11th so looking forward to that. Have already met somebody on this site that is doing the same course at the same tafe so thats cool. Are you thinking of going onto doing your RN? Where do you work, you will be busy with working too, it will be sooooo worth it though. This site is really informative don't you think, it's my new facebook haha

I've been stalking these forums for the last 6 months just trying to get as much insight possible for my course! I'm almost 21 with no kids. Thats fantastic that you are going to be juggling all that ! All the best to you! I currently work in a completely unrelated field to nursing, I work in a Telstra Shop but they are very flexible with my hours as they know ill be studying and said it will be fine to cut down hours if it gets too much! Have you worked in aged care or the health industry before? I've always wanted to be a nurse since i was small but I left school early so going to Uni to do RN wasnt an option for me. But I will definatly will be converting once ive completed my EEN course. They have a special conversion degree at LaTrobe university especially for EENs so im hoping to get into that and at my interview they mentioned that they were trying to work out an agreement with the uni for Healthskills nursing graduates could get in easier. So fingers crossed! Have you always wanted to be a nurse? Do you know what area you want to work in? I have a few friends doing this course and they absolutley love it! I cant wait to do placements!
